Internal water softener (special equipment)

Procedure:

Danger

 When handling chemicals, observe the safety notes and the dosage recommendations on

the packaging.

 Wear protective clothing, protective gloves and protective goggles when handling chemicals.

 Do not mix different detergents.

 Remove the suction tube from the container and place it in a water-filled container.

 Rinse the dosing tubes and the detergent dispenser pump with water. To do this, use the prime dispenser

pump function several times ( 10). The frequency depends on the length of the dosing tubes.

 Place the suction tube in the new detergent container.

 Use the prime dispenser pump function several times ( 10), to replace the water in the dosing tubes

with detergent.

5.5 Priming the dispenser pumps

Dispenser pumps must be primed if air gets into the dosing tube because the containers were not

exchanged or refilled in time ( 10).

6 Internal water softener (special equipment)

By softening the inlet water, limescale build-up in the machine and on the dishes is avoided. For the internal

water softener to work correctly, the salt container must be filled with regeneration salt.

INFO At the commissioning of the machine the authorised service technician measures the water

hardness and saves it in the machine's electronic control unit.

6.1 Lack of salt display

A pictogram appears on the screen when an empty salt container requires refilling. The

display disappears after filling the salt container, as soon as approx. 3 wash cycles have

been completed and part of the salt has been dissolved.

6.2 Filling regeneration salt

Caution

Possible risk of damage to the water softener

Chemicals such as detergent and rinse aid inevitably lead to damage to the water softener. Fill

only with regeneration salt or pure evaporated salt.

Possible malfunction of the water softener

Do not fill with other salts (e.g. table salt cleaning or de-icing salt). These can contain water-

insoluble components. Fill only with fine-grained salt (max. 1 - 4 mm grain size).

INFO Because of their size, salt tablets are not suitable.

 Proceed in accordance with Figures A1 to A5.

IMPORTANT Figure A2 is only relevant for the first filling.

Caution

Risk of rust formation in the filling area

Immediately after filling, start a wash cycle to rinse off any salt residue.
